Solve the system using elimination<br><br> 2x+3y=14<br> x+5y=14
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

x = 4 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation by elimination:

Solve the following system:

{2 x + 3 y = 14 | (equation 1)

x + 5 y = 14 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{2 x + 3 y = 14 | (equation 1)

0 x+(7 y)/2 = 7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 2/7:

{2 x + 3 y = 14 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{2 x+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:

{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 4 , y = 2

You are a space alien. You visit planet Earth and abduct 97 chickens, 47 cows, and 77 humans. Then, you randomly select one Eart
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

there are 97 + 47 + 77 = 221 creatures from Earth in the alien spaceship.

the probability that a human being is chosen at random = 77 / 221 = 0.3484 = 34.84%

the probability that a chicken is chosen at random = 97 / 221 = 0.4389 = 43.89%

the probability of choosing a cow at random = 100% - 34.84% - 43.89% = 21.27%

recent research indicated that about 20% of british children are deficient in vitamin d. suppose doctors test a group of element
blsea [12.9K]

If about 20% of British children are deficient in vitamin and doctors test a group of elementary school children, the probability that the first vitamin d-deficient child is the 8th one tested is 4.19% determined using geometric distribution formula.

In probability and statistics, geometric distribution refers to the probability that first success would occurs after n number of trials and is given by:

P(X)=q^(x-1)p

Where p is the probability of success and q is (1-p)

In this case,

p=probability of children deficient in vitamin= 0.2

q= probability of children not deficient in vitamin= 0.8

Hence,

P(8)=0.8^(8-1)*0.2= 0.0419

Hence, the probability that 8th child is deficient is 4.19%

samantha is making punch for a class picnic. there are 25 students in her class. Samantha uses 1 gallon 2 quarts of orange juice
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

  • 4 gallons
  • yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A quart is 1/4 gallon, so the total of liquid ingredients for the punch is ...

  (1 2/4 gal) +(3/4 gal) +(1 3/4 gal) = 2 8/4 gal = 4 gal

Samantha made 4 gallons of punch.

__

1 cup is 1/16 gallon, so 2 cups each for 25 students requires ...

  (1/16 gal)(2)(25) = 50/16 gal = 3 1/8 gal

Samantha made more punch than that, so there will be enough for 2 1-cup servings for each student.
